I have the following javascript, which reloads a php site into a div:

if (boxes.length) {
          $(".loadingItems").fadeIn(300);
            // Change the name here as well
            $(".indexMain").load('indexMain.php?'+this.name+'=' + boxes.join("+"),
            function() {
                $(".indexMain").fadeIn('slow');
                $(".loadingItems").fadeOut(300);
            });

I would like to pass another parameter in the same url...

So I thought I should just do it as follows, although I cannot get it to work. Is this the right way?

I am trying to pass parameter categ using a php variable $category like this:

 if (boxes.length) {
        $(".loadingItems").fadeIn(300);
        // Change the name here as well
        $(".indexMain").load('indexMain.php?categ=<?php echo $category;?>&'+this.name+'=' + boxes.join("+"),
        function() {
            $(".indexMain").fadeIn('slow');
            $(".loadingItems").fadeOut(300);
        });

Looks ok. Can you show the rendered output please – popnoodles Feb 3 at 1:42

I can see 2 potential reasons for this not to work (the code seems fine...):

  1. The php does not get executed; the javascript is located in an external .js file or the html file has for example the .html extension instead of .php;
  2. The variable you echo, contains invalid characters. You should use urlencode to make sure that does not happen: <?php echo urlencode($category); ?>
